Possible Reasons Why.

EDITOR GAzETrE:-After reading in this
evenings Bulletin that 5000 had been
offered and declined in the Bulletin estab-
lishment. for printing certain unnamed
document, have been puZzling more or less
over two queries that seem to be proper to
the occasion. The first query natuI ally sug-
gests itself: what document was ever written
in Honolulu that could be worth 5000 to be
published? As no one but the editor of the
Bulletin can be expected to know the answer,
| have concluded to "give It up." The
answer to the second query also probably
rests with the same high authority; but the
public, until they are taken into the secret.
will doubtless be exercising their wits on
reasons of their own devising. Among the
many possible solutions of the mystery, the
following are respectfully submitted as good
and sufficient reasons why a valiant and
enterprising journal should not accept the
small sum of $4,000 for publishing A single
document: ~ that there might not have
been enough type; % that there might not
have been enough printers; (3l that " he
Alakai" was published instead; A that the
document was in the z" VOlapuk" " language;
t5) there might have been a S50C00 libel suit
behind it; 90 the $4,000 might be misprint
for $50; (7l that it was written at the
ton might have produced a boycott; f9l that
the document is a myth; tl0) that the 5000
is myth.
Whether any or all of the foregoing rea-
sons is correct, is OF far more interest to the
community than whether the Minister of the
Interior or the President of the Board Of
Health stood tue drinks in the recent Kauai
expedition. MORE CURIOSITY.

The Advertiser Ahead.

The foreign reprint editors Of the Bulletin
and Adrertiser seem to have been on wager
for the past month or two to see (which can
tell the biggest lie" about the Hawaiian
Islands. Odds were heavy in favor Of the
Bulletin until Thursday morning, when the
Adrertiser made grand spurt and brought
out the following from an Australian paper:
In the nsighborhood of the Sandwich
Islands, and particularly of Honolulu, which
is at the head of land-loeked harbor, is the
place for hurricanes.
The different air currents are 50 close to-
gether and so sharply defined that have

the sun shining brightly overhead, and not

ships. There was not air enough blowing to

knew that tornado was passing by the ship.

which weighed about ton aud half, was

Despicable Conduct.

EDIroR GAzETTE:-In the GAZETTE Of 0cto-
ber Sd, is short item entitled "A Man with
a Tank" which is an account of most dis
graceful proceeding, A couple of Honolulu
"bloods" match an aged German mark the
adjective) to drink twenty glasses of beer in
thirty minutes. This man, commonly called
Doctor, is known to many residents of Homo
lulu. He has but the wreck of manhood
about him, evidently ruin made by alcohol.
When Mr.. Booth, the temperance lecturer,
was here, the old man signed the pledge, and
tried, with how little of hope of being able
to do so, God knows. to keep it. Years of
indulgence in drinking had made his appe-
tite a disease, and he had very little strength
to resist temptation. But he tried to do
better and to mend his ways. One would
think every right minded person, every one
who had compassion for weakness or respect
for virtue, would help such a man In his
efforts to reclaim his manhood and lead
better life. But instead there are two
"bloOds" in Honolulu (let rs hope for de-
cency's sake there are only two of these
vile creatures here, who tempt the old man
into his old ways of drunkenness, and fur
nish him the means for it, Just for their own
amusement. If these bOOds got their de-
serts for their conduct they would speedily
find themselves in prisoners garb and at
work on the road. II does not make any diff
ference that the old man was willing TO
drink the beer. Many an insane man is
willing to take his own life, but he is not
furnished the means of doing so for that
reason.
Very few persons could have read of this
affair without burning indignation against
the two worthless instigators of it, and GER
tainly one must feel surprise that it could
have been printed in the GAZETTE, as some
thing quite funny, and without word being
uttered against such Iniquitons conduct.

To His E.rceHeBcq, L. A. TNw-sfoH. Nous
ter Of the Interior: We, the undersigned,
have carefully examined the old steam tug
Pele and find her condition as follows
The timbers of her frame in the stern and
quarters are almost entirely decayed. Along
the engine room they are partially decayed,
being for the most part sound above the
bilge, but thoroughly decayed below along
the coal bunkers and forward, most of ths
timbers are sound. The stem and keel are
also sound, and the planking for the most
part in q reasonably sound condition; the
ceiling on the bottom and sides, and also the
thick streak, are in good condition.
The deck, rails and shear plank are badly
worn and decayed.
We made no special examination of the
machinery, but noticed that the steam cyl
inder shows a crack above the lower hange,
which has been stayed with wrought iron
rods.
To put the hull in safe condition for use
outside the harbor the whole of the frame
work in the stern and along good portion
of the bottom will have to be removed, and
large amount of work done in the upper
works.
Respectfully submitted.

The Concert.
TEACHER.

Opera House did not contain very large
audience at the second concert of the Misses
Joran and Signor Roseli. 1t was, how
ever. highly appreciatiye assembly of peo-
pie generally qualified to enjoy and Judge
music. Every part was received with hearty
applause, and many induced irrepress1ble
recalls. The piano playing of Lula and
Elise was in all cases delightful the latter,
Youngest of the sisters, astonishing ali who
listened that mere child could execute diff
cult music so artistically. Pauline as usual
entranced all musical ears with the express
sIye strains she evoked from the yioliu.
Signor Roselli was III good trim, his singing
being much admired. The last number for
voice, violin and piauo-'AlIa Stella Conf
dent" was rendered by Signor Roseli and
Misses Lula and Pauline Joran 1t was. as a
legal luminary reflected in going out, "a
gem"
Saturday evening is announced for posi-
lively the last concert. on which occasion a
grand pOpularfrogramni will be presented. -
1t is also stated that Miss Bertha Won Holt
has kindly given her assistance. and will
sing at this last concert of the Misses Joran;
further. that Mr.. Chas. Michiels will CON
tribute some favorite cornet music.

olfends their professional code will find himself stigmatiacd with this suggestive cpithet. A doctor who does not follow the code of ethics laid down by the medical fraternity is called q quack. A priest or preacher who does not follow the strict doctrines laid down by the representatives of their respective sects is called an apostate, 8 heretic, a false teacher. A politician who does not adhere to the policy of the party, but joins the opposing faction, is called renegade, charletan, q mountebank. A soldier who leaves the ranks, and not only deserts, but gives information concerning his former companions in arms to the enemy, is called q traitor. Thus each profession has some disgraceful sobriquot to hurl at such members who are unfaithful to their class.
 The working class Is no exception. Those of it's members who prove un- faithful to their obligations, who try to hamstring unions when they are fighting a broad-and-butter question, who shirk dues to save money for drink and other vices, who take jobs when men are on strike, such per sons are called "rats,' "scabs' or black sheep, It is not more vulgar than for the so-caIled genteel profes- sions to use the terms of shyster and quack.

SOCIALISM AND ANARCHISM :
ANTAGONlSTlC OPpOSlTES.

In reading the newspapers, we find
 the two names mentioned above, ire quently put side by side, Nay, we find them also associated with the terms Communism and Nihilism, as though
 these four ''isms' had the closest relation to each other. This is a mistake. So- ciaijSm and .AndrchiSm are opposites which have nothing in common but their appurtenance to Social Science. Socialists and Anarchists as such are en- cmies. They pursue contrary aims, and the success of the former will destroy forever the fanatical hopes of the latter
 IL is true that in their theories, both are thoroughly dissatisfied with the pres ent state of human society and its poli- ties, and that they severely criticize almost all the economical and political constitutions and laws. teachings and practices, now prevailing. But they do so from very different points of view. The Anarchist worships at the shrine of Liberty. Liberty is his goddess, and his only deity, in theory at least. He re- iects all laws imposed on him from without, and respects only such laws as he himself ordains He wants no asso- citation but with men of his own turn of mind, no rule of the majority. no sub mission under any will but his own, no discipline. He imagines that human society may he re-organized in the fol lowing way: When persons enough are converted to his ideas, all present insti- tutions are to be destroyed-Statea and church, property and laws, of course. foremost. Reorganization then may be- gin by the voluntary association of groups of such persons as are thoroughly in accord; these groups may form larger societies for certain special purposes of work or enjoyment; and these societies may agree with other such for still more

NOTES.

A scheme is on foot to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the adoption of the Federal Constitution by a grand exposition at Washington. Better celebrate it by making a con stitution more suited to the times.
 The Senate of New York has passed bill permitting women to vote at municipal elections. As the Senate has thus practically "ac- knowledged the corn, why not go the whole length and permit them to vote at State elections: But the mud-heads of the Senate are we'll aware that the bill will not pass the practical politicians of the Assem- ply. Hence their sympathy for suffrage.

PATCHWORK LEGISLATION.

Last week, m the House 0l hep- | sentatives, a bill was introduced by | Mir. Voorhees, of Wyoming, the sub stance of which is as follows: VIA bill to dispose of the surplus in the United States Treasury.
 "Provided that labor organizations or branches of labor organizations may be incorporated by the United States Gov ernment, and may receives loans from the Government, enabling them to estab- fish cooperative factories and manuiac- turing establishments for the purpose of individual profit. Said loans to be re- paid upon specified terms, and to bear interest at a specified. rate per annum. A government inspector is to be appoint ed for each of these manufactures whose duty it shall he to supervise the books alone, and to have no control over the business methods of the corporation. The salary of the inspector isto he Tl 300 per annnm.
 While 1t may seem upon a nasty reading that the bill contains the germ of a good idea, a slight consld- eration will disclose the falacy of such Il measure. The bill, in point of fact, is calculated to take from the ranks of organized labor q few select personagcs, and raise them to capitallstic position at the expense of the Government; {. c., at the eX- pense of their fellow workers.
 If the surplus in the Treasury was large enough to confer this benefit upon erpry labor organization, the proposition might be worth consider ing; but in view of the fact that, at best, it could be made to apply only to a very small percentage of the organized workers, 1t is scarcely worthy the trouble of reading. Patch work measures of this charac- ter will accomplish nothing but the creation of jealousy and dissenslon among workingmcn.
 If such a bill were to become Q law, What labor organizations among the thousands existing, would be select cd as the bcncliciaries; and upon whom, if we may be permitted to ask. would devolve the duty of se- lecting them? Furthermore, what would be the qualification necessary to constitute a labor organization a legitimate benlicary? Under a "demOcratic' administration only democrats" would benefit; under a republican, administration, only republicans" Broken-down "bums' and political heelers would organize and obtain the loans. No benefit would be derived by the le- gitimate trades-unionists.
 The projector of this bill no doubt meant well, but he has failed to get to the basis of the labor question. If the bill could be amended to read, "the establishing of Governmental work shops owned and controlled by the Government. in which none but union men should be employed" we should feel more inclined to lend it our support. Nor do we think that 1t would be necessary, under such q system, to restrict the employees to union men, as all wage-work kers would thus be brought, of necessity, into contributing their quota of labor for the benefit of all.
 As the bill now reads, we are i'm pelled to warn our readers against seriously considering it, for q mo- ment. Fortunately there is not the slightest danger of its becoming a law.
